Big Night at Jr Men's World Championship for Teeswater's Mac Fischer

Canada's undefeated streak continued at the WBSC World Junior Men's Softball Championship in Saskatchewan as Teeswater's Mac Fischer led the team to a 10-0 win over Hong Kong in five innings.
Fischer struck out eight batters and allowed just one hit and also hit a triple and a home run, driving in two runs.
He felt it was his opportunity.
"I was waiting for my chance all week and once I got my chance I would have to make it worthwhile. So I tried to put the ball in play when I was at bat and make quality pitches when I was pitching."
Canada finished 5-0 in pool play and will face Australia in the playoffs tonight. Fischer says they are ready.

"We feel we have a pretty good chance against them. If we play like we have all week it will be a good game and hopefully come out on top."

Today's game against Australia is at 10 p.m. EST. The other key game in the championship bracket is Japan versus New Zealand.
